I am going to die

After 10 rounds of chemotherapy I’ve found out it had been growing in my lungs the whole time. Both my lungs are engulfed with tumors. I thought the amputation of my leg would get rid of it but it had already spread. I have no words and I don’t know what to do. The doctors said I have 3 to 6 months left. I’d love to keep fighting but I just don’t have it in me.

They offered me two chemo pills, one would keep me in the hospital nearly all the time. Which I don’t wanna be in, I wanna be with my kitty cats.

And the second had less side effects but I’m worried about adverse ones coming up.

And they ultimately told me that they could do nothing to slow down the tumor growth. I guess I just write this for some support, I’m gonna miss so many things. I’m gonna live my life to the fullest but it’s so hard knowing the things I’ll leave behind.

Questions for Post Revision Surgery

Good day everyone, my name is Bryan from Malaysia, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at left distal femur on Sept 2010, done LSS walking happily till May 2018 accidentally fractured my left distal tibia, fix It with metal implant, after 6 months' intensive physiotherapy sessions I was able to walk again, cycling and travel as usual.

However, my surgeon has confirmed my plastic loosening on May 2025 constant pain after walking.

Aft delayed for one year, I took my courage done revision surgery on 27/07/26. Doctor did not change upper femur part but merely changed my knee joint to titanium (no more plastic)

Today is PO Day 67, I am able to walk and use stairs, of course got warmth around lateral and medial knee after exercise I just rest and it would get better (no need ice and celebrex)

But there is one disturbing thing, ever since PO Day 60, I noticed sometimes when I have my legs crossed or flex my knee at 90 Degree if i put more forces, it will move/rotate a bit by itself and have 'clunking' noises (it did happen from the past 16 years but not frequent)

I was kind of freak out, I text my surgeon he said it is completely normal.

Any member faces the same problem pls? Thanks
